Help!!

Found a small amount of water in the car that i think is from there. The windows have been steaming up quite a bit recently and i think this is causing it.

Where is the matrix and how do i go about checking it is leaking??

Any help.

Water in header tank will go down, can get away with changing it by just taking the middle part of the dash out (get sum1 with small hands).
To stop the leaking in the meantime take the 2 heater matrix pipes off (in the engine bay, on the bulk head) and bridge them together therefore no more water will be entering the car and you can leave your carpets to dry out.

im sure on the corsa there is a panel in the passenger side footwell help in with two screws which will allow you to check and replace the matrix. Hardest part of doing a matrix on a corsa is getting to the water pipes on some engines. Otherwise its a cracking design as no dash out action!
